You've been namechecked in a novel by George Pelecanos. How do you feel about novelists who namecheck musicians?

I wrote something for Q on Ten Thousand Saints and it was one of the few music mentions in a novel that wasn't embarrassing to me. They always get it wrong. And I'm too close to it, so I can't enjoy it. The second they start talking about this fictitious band, I'm all "Oh God …" It's an honour, though, to show up in Pelecanos's work.
